Last Thursday, the night before the full moon made the perfect time to photograph this huge spider hanging out on a web in our side yard.

I needed a six foot ladder, in order to get into the right position to line up the spider and web with the moon. Nicki held the ladder as I tried to stay steady making this photograph. Shot on a Canon 5d m2, 1250 ISO, with a 135mm lens with a 1.4 extender.
